COASTAL FISHING

Ucluelet Salmon and Halibut Combo Trip

A west coast saltwater experience on Vancouver Island's Pacific Rim

The coastal waters of Ucluelet, BC are a haven for Pacific salmon, halibut, ling cod and a wide variety of bottom fish. The variety of fishing grounds that surround this coastal town make Ucluelet an ideal destination for both salmon and halibut fishing. Beginning in the late-spring, migratory Chinook salmon become present in close proximity to Ucluelet, averaging 15 to 25 pounds with fish exceeding 30 pounds being far from a rarity. Fishing in Ucluelet’s outer banks, ranging from 3 to 25 miles from the coastline, offer productive halibut fishing that coincides perfectly with the arrival of springtime Chinooks. In congruence with both salmon and halibut fishing, the migration of the magnificent Gray whale adds another aspect to Ucluelet’s fishing experience.
